Backshells and adaptors

At Weald Electronics, we offer a comprehensive range of connector backshells and adaptors engineered for high-performance environments — including defence, aerospace, industrial systems, and motorsport.

Backshells play a critical role in ensuring a secure, reliable connection between the connector and cable. They provide essential sealing, strain relief, and protect against environmental factors and electromagnetic interference (EMI/RFI), helping maintain the integrity of your entire cable assembly.

Our most popular options include EMI/RFI shielding and heat shrink boot backshells based on AS85049/ M85049 specifications, strain relief backshells, cable clamps, low profile backshells and extended adaptors for fibre optic connectors. 

They are designed for use with D38999 / MIL-DTL-38999 Series III and IV or MIL-DTL-26482 Series I military specification circular connectors like Weald Electronics LMH Range and EATON Souriau 8D Range.
